Dear Sir,
I hope, after so long a time, I have succeeded in procuring the required testimony to establish the claim of the heirs of Mrs. Rachel Farrow, dec'd, widow of Landon Farrow dec'd, a Revolutionary soldier to the right of Pension. This Affidavit is made by Col. Wm Farrow a citizen of this District until within some few years past but of Marshall County Mississippi and is well known to be a man of property and truth.
I hope from the testimony now adduced in this case that you may feel yourself authorized to allow the pension. Col. William Farrow as he has stated is known to be the brother of Landon Farrow and the only one of the brothers or sisters now living.
I am Sir

That he distinctly recollects one occurrence narrated that it was as follows that on one occasion Landon Harrow and a number Whigs were surpris- ed by a party of Tories at his own house and that the Rev. Mr Walker his Brother in Law rode up and told them that the Tories were coming but before they could escape the house was surrounded and they barricaded the doors and prepared to defend themselves and killed one of the assailants. The Tories attempted to burn the house and finally agreed that they would leave if the Whigs would give them some ammunition and arms which being over procured they agreed to do one of the whigs agreed was a pistol and Landon Harrow offered to hand it out at a crack of the house which the Tories refused to take unless handled breech foremost which Harrow was unwilling to do and finally the parties agreed that Rachel the wife of Landon above named carried out and delivered the pistol and the Tories left these statements he has often heard from Capt. Thos. Harrow and others of the party as well as the said Rachel and that there no fact better known or more fully believed by the old settlers of

My br br,
I herewith inclose the supplemental declaration of Chaney Farrow, to recover the arrear due his Mother the difference between Infantry , and Cavalry pay.
I herewith inclose the cer- tificate of the Comptroller General of South Carolina, to sustain this application, from which it is abundantly evident that Robert Bleasdale was, as I asserted horse men or Cavalry.
The Hon Comr of Pensions will recollect that when he allowed the claim of Rachel Farrow under act of 4 th July 1836, in April last he admitted that if evidence of Rev-

under Payment was shown which was conclusive that they served two Years as horsemen, or Cavalry. This Claim would be admitted at one hundred dollars per annum
Landon Harrow, Hishank of Rachel, served as a Lieutenant a portion of his time, but as I am unable to make the proof further than tradition, I will close by having Cavalry allowance now made.
Very Truly Your friend A. S. Wallau
As the Com was kind enough to give this claim the personal consid- eration, under act of 4th July 1836, and would have had no hesitancy at that time to have admitted the claim for the highest allowance had it been claimed, will have no difficulty now with the supplemental declaration, of Clancy Harrow and the certificate of the Compt General to grant all claim. As with a pension at the rate of $100, from 4th March 1831.

At the day of his death, the same Children still survive.
Yours Truly.

I respectfully request that you take that you take up the claim of Eliz- abeth French, widow of Safford French, -S.C.; examine her claim with a view to have her claim increased from $24 per annum, to $100 per an- num, as he was in the same Reg- ment, and drew $100 for his service in that Regiment, and is the only Safford French on the rolls of this state in the war of the Revolution.

Dear Sir
enclosed you have further proof of the service of Landon Farrow husband of Rachel Farrow after their marriage which corroborates the evidence furnished by the Banns Certificate. For you will see by the amount of indents which Mr Farrow received that he was in the army of the Revolution more than six years - which from the commencement of hostilities in this part of the Country proves that he was in the service after his marriage. This fact being supported by the evidence of Mr Williams who swears positively to the fact that Farrow did serve after his marriage is beyond all question all the difficulties in the case - by a cal- culation of the amount of indents it will be seen that Farrow served over 6 years & 3 months & supposing he entered the service the very day Independence was declared will carry his service to the latter part of the year 1782 admitting he served all the time. which

is not probable, if however the department cannot allow the claim, the applicants will have to look up further testimony tho it is very difficult to find in part of the country any of the soldiers of the Revolution who served with Mr. Farrow Yours Respectfully H. D. Farrow

In your last communication upon the Claim of Pension of Michael Harrow, Widow of Landow Harrow, in speaking in reference to the Calculation of Interest, you remark that the amount of Interest would prove that Landow Harrow was in the Service long after the Peace of '83.
In reply to this I beg leave to state that it is my believe a matter of fact that Although the Southern Army was disbanded in '83, yet a Considerable Patrol duty was performed long after by a portion of the soldiers, in hunting up outlaws & recovering stolen property. Landow Harrow

was doubtless engaged in this Service, which accounts in my fragment for the difficulty you suggest—
I am requested by the applicants to present this view to your consideration.
I should be much gratified to receive a reply by the end of this week, as I shall leave Washington on Sunday morning next— But if this should be incompatible with your other duties— (which I hope it will not be) I may be addressed on the subject at Union Court House S.C.

I certify, that I have been acquainted with Aaron Starnes, (who resides in Union District, South Carolina), near the battle ground of "Musgrove's Mill" for upwards of twenty years. He is now quite old, & from information which I believe to be true, I should think he is now ninety years old or upwards. But his constitution has been far more vigorous, than usually falls to the lot of man, & his personal strength (he being a large man) very great. When I saw him last, his personal strength did not seem very much impaired by age, and his mind appeared to be as good, as it was the first time I ever saw him. In a word he is, for his age, an extraordinary man. I would believe his testimony, either upon oath or otherwise, as readily as any man that lives. He has a mind & a will of his own, & possesses a remarkable independence of character. His testimony & credibility as a witness, are in my opinion unimpeachable.

A reply to your communication, on the subject of pension in right of Mrs. Rachel Farnow, Sped , widow of Landon Farnow a Revolutionary Soldier, at dated Oct. 13. 1846, has been delayed until now, hoping that by further search the papers might be found in the Comptrollers Office on which the Amount of pay was allowed, that is, the time when he entered the Service, and the time when he was discharged from service, but as yet that search has been fruitless. I therefore ask your serious attention while I urge one or two considerations which naturally grow out of the Testimony already submitted and which seems to me ought to be regarded as higher proof than any Oral Testimony that could be produced at this late period. And first, it will be seen by the Affidavits already sent that nearly all, although they have not been able to fix the precise period at which Landon Farnow left the Service, yet they concur in the fact that he was in Service as long as any other Man. Another consideration and a very important one too as I think, grows out of the Report that has already been submitted from the Comptrollers Office, and that is his Amount of pay. On a reference to which it will be seen that his pay, then due was in Currency $838. 6. 6. Sterling £118. 11. 5. which Amount reduced to Federal Money would be a little more than $308. and then Supposing the pay of a private Soldier at $6. per Annum would have made him to have been in Service six years and more than a third, add that time to 1776, July 7 th and Supposing him to have gone into Service

on that day, which is hardly probable, the six years alone would carry his services to 1782 July the 4 th to which add the one third and it would carry his term of service nearly through the year, 82. Another consideration is the amount of interest allowed, which will be seen to be only £86. which surely would not have been the case if he had left the service in Janu y 1782 the date of his marriage, for it will be seen on reference to the same report from the Comptroller's office that his Indentures was made on the 8 th of August, 1786, a term of more than four years if he had never been in service after his marriage in Janu y 1782.
I would respectfully submit to your serious attention, whether these considerations, when coupled with all the proof adduced in this case, ought not to carry conviction that Claimant's husband must have been in service after marriage.
I might say other things in behalf of this Claim, but as I do not wish to be troublesome by arguing any considerations which does not come strictly within the view of the Law I submit these thoughts with the hope that you may come to the same conclusion with myself.
Yours very affec ly H. D. L. S. H. J. Dean Kensal Green A. C.

In the case of Rachael Harrow widow of Landon Harrow, I beg to present one other view to the favor of Pensions, and failing in this I shall drop the matter for the present
The interest on the bonds issued by the State of South Carolina for Revolutionary Services did not commence to run until after the term of service expired.
If the calculation be made, it will appear that the interest paid to Landon Harrow was so small that it will afford almost conclusive proof that it did not begin to run, until after his marriage.
This Sir, is the only point on the evidence which I have now

to offer to your consideration - and I shall be happy to receive your opinion upon it, at such time as your convenience will permit

Hon S. P. Waldo,
My Sir Sir,
I herewith inclose Evidence in claim of Rachel Farrow widow of Landon Farrow late of Spartanburg District S.C. un- der act of 4th July 1836 paya- ble to four living children
She has been pensioned under act of 7th July 1838 at the rate $80 per annum
We now ask the claim to be admitted under act 4th July 1836, which has been here- tofore refused. The evidence on file to my mind is very conclusive that Landon Farrow was in service after marriage from the Testimony here tofore sub- mitted in this claim to wit the
Testimony of W m Hollens, and Will- iam Landon Farrow, whose reputation

is sustained by the proper certificates and also the evidence of May Dean Clarke of the House of Representatives of S.C. - who was long a member of that body, and was a member at the time of his election, and also by Mr Lancaster who who in avers the same facts in relation to the above mentioned witness, as some of the witnesses whose testimony is now submitted, which I will herewith present, which I hope will be satisfactory on the subject of the marriage, as the witnesses are very clear on that subject and narrate facts that put the marriage beyond every question of doubt before the last services of Landon Garrison in behalf of his country to which I most respectfully invite your special attention,
as a further evidence of the probabilities of the service of Landon Garrison. I find by an examination of the Records in the Comptroller's office of S.C. that Col Benjamin Rabuck Redmond served as Lieut

Col and Col from the fall of Charleston 12 May 1865 to to the 10th December 1882, that I examined the records my self and have a note of that service now in my possession the servi- ces of Col Holcomb after the fall of Charleston starting in the time he was a prisoner of war make some 14 or 15 months and ends as above stated on the 10th December 1882 leaving Mr Farrow near three months after his marriage to serve which I have no doubt he will improve, as his reputa- tion was as good as any man's in S.C. and the amount of pay he received shows his servi- ces were long, and arduous.
There is one other matter to which I would call your attention and that is in regard to the accounts of pay received which covers two years as a private of Cavalry which from the nature of the service the greater part of the time was that of Cavalry which was not formerly shown

but which is now  claimed
I regret to ask such an amount of labor at your hands but it is indispensable to the in- terest of my constituents which you will readily grant
You will please examine and report at your earliest con- venience.

Doct Samuel Farrow of the village of Spartanburgh in the State of South Carolina, has forwarded to me certain Papers relating to a claim for a Pension which Maj. H. I Dean of the same place has for some time past been prosecuting in Right of the Widow of Sandow Farrow a Revolutionary Soldier -
In view the Papers before me I learn that satisfactory Proof has been presented that the children of Mrs Rachel Farrow for whom the claim is made, are entitled to the highest rate of pensions to which a soldier of the grade of her Husband can be entitled -

but that up to July 8 1846 - no satisfactory Evidence has been Presented in the case to prove that any portion of the Service was rendered subsequent to the Marriage -
Since the above date however I find that an affidavit of Col. William Farrow has been offered in Evidence with the view to supply the defect of proof in the matter referred to - whether this additional evidence was - or was not satisfactory upon the point does not appear from the Papers before me
I have the honor to request that I may be informed what the state of this Case now is - and what further Evidence if any is necessary to complete the

Prosecution of the claim — And as the Session of Congress is drawing to a close, I should be happy to be put in possession of the state of the claim as early a day as possible

Dear Sir
I have the pleasure of inclosing to you the testimony of Mr Farrow in Court of what you already have in the application of Sam l Farrow adm r of Rachel Farrow widow of Landon Farrow, Ipswich Co. sident that the Evidence of Mr Farrow sustained as it is by the amount of pay which Landon Farrow received will satisfy you that Farrow served after

his marriage, which I understand is the only difficulty in the case.
If you will do me the favour to take the Indents which Lawdon Farrow Received and make an Estimate of the time he must have been in the Service, I think you will be satisfied he served after he was married - I am not aware that the applicant will be able to furnish any further proof, and your Early decision is most Respectfully Requested. Yours with Sentiments of high Regard
H. J. Dean

This claim was made out when the parties were ignorant of the dif- ference between Infantry and Cavalry pay. The pay to Robuck shows he commanded horse and not Infantry. The pay covers two years and upwards to Sanderson Station as private of Cavalry which is now Claim.
The written brief was made by me from the original papers in Copplebrallens office Columbia and I strictly correct.

Friend May The heirs of Sandon Garrison viz. Deborah Hucker, Chancy Garrison, Coman- der Garrison and Sarah Waters The only surviving heirs of said Sandon Garrison have received a Certificate of Rescission due Rachel Garrison widow of said Sandon Garrison - which Certificate of Rescission is in the hands of J. H. Hadlock of Georgetown South Carolina who I suppose is an Attorney - he claims said Certificate to my injury or at least will not give it up unless I will give him one half of my part, & which I am unwilling to give since I made no contract with him - and am only willing to give him the worth of his services - will you write me how I am to be put in the possession of my rights
Yours very Respectfully Sarah Waters
